Plz go through this post then you will get what i am saying.
tl;dr

To sum up for the lazy. A distro that has fairly new packages yet stable and mostly apt based or debian based.
I have made linux main os since start of 2011. I have tried a few distros here and there. But now have become serious abt distohopping. And i am trying to find a distro that has fairly new packages and can yet be stable. Ubuntu satisfies this but it not the same anymore. And there is no one else who freezes debian sid and testing and then provide updates to it. I tried fedora but it has problems and took similar resource as ubuntu.
A few distros i am going to try
1. Debian siduction
2. Aptosid/Siduction
3. SolydX or SolydK
4. Chakra (i know not debian based but has good policies ) Repo Structure Half Rolling Release
5. ....
You too can join the discussion about distro hopping.
